Stuartm Posted December 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sydney Ports has updated the movement time to 20:00 tonight.Still schedule for 07:30 tomorrow morning from White Bay to Garden Island. When I saw her at Circular Quay this morning all her lifeboats were missing. I assumed they were doing manoeuvres somewhere but perhaps they had been dispatched in preparation for the drydock. WIth the boats gone I had a clear view of the obstructed view cabins. Their windows look very large. Anyone been in one? cheers Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macntosh Posted December 7, 2012 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi All, Having only disembarked Oosterdam on Wednesday, I was surprised when a friend sent me this link to today's Sydney Morning Herald. With the ship in dry dock for the next two weeks, it seems rather unusual. It is a public notice from the Australian Customers & Border Protection. Not sure why the Australian Government would want the ship forfeited to the Australian Commonwealth if it remains in Australia for more than 30 days from yesterday 6 Dec. It may only be offical / legal mumbo jumbo to ensure the ships overhaul is finished in the alotted time, but seems like a huge waste of Australian tax payers money by placing the advert. Thoughts?? http://smh.digitaleditions.com.au/OLIVE/ODE/SMH_DAILY/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=U01ILzIwMTIvMTIvMDc.&pageno=MTg.&entity=QWQwMTgwOA..&view=ZW50aXR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodscruise Posted December 8, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Apparently it is some legal issue and when the P&O / Princess Australia ships went into drydock in Brisbane, the same sort of legal notice was published in the Brisbane Courier.

macntosh Posted December 8, 2012 #18 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thanks for the link.The communication is dated 2011 and 2012.! Hi Erewhon, I just went back and re-read the advert. The 2011 is the postcode for Woolloomooloo (not the year). So it is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
